This is a photo of Sebastian (1 1/2 years old) and his grandfather, Cheenu, standing behind him.
When I'm shooting it's important for me to go into a flow with my subjects, to "see" what's happening and shoot it. It's very intuitive, I'm a channel. It's a matter of allowing myself to be led. After I shot this photo of Sebastian with his grandfather I learned that when Cheenu returned to Bombay after visiting in Greenwich, Sebastian cried every night for 6 months.
